English data for AI training, collected to your brief
English data from IndecalAI is collected or reviewed by a native English speaker, not pulled from an existing archive. We work with speakers across Europe, with regional accents that a single generic model usually misses, matched to your brief and checked before delivery.
What English data can we produce?
English data from IndecalAI is speech, text, conversational and translation data collected or reviewed by an English speaker for your brief, not pulled from an existing archive.
Regional accents and dialect words inside a single country can trip up a model trained on one generic variety, so tell us the region or audience you're targeting.
This sits across several of our services depending on what you need: data collection for raw speech or text, conversational AI data for dialogue, and translation and localization for converting between English and another language.
Image and video categories on our datasets hub don't depend on language at all, so a project can combine this with visual data from the same region.

What to know about English before you brief it
English is the world's most common second language and the working language of a great deal of international business. It is an official or major language in dozens of countries, each with its own habits.
A project for English is never just English: American, British, Indian, Australian and Nigerian English differ in spelling, vocabulary, rhythm and accent, and a model trained on one stumbles on the others. Indian English is especially important for products serving India, because of its own vocabulary and its mixing with local languages. State the countries of your users and whether spelling should follow American or British conventions.
Languages that sit close to English in script, family or region: German data, Dutch data, French data, Spanish data, Hindi data and Swahili data.
Categories we build in English: English E-Commerce Support Text Data, Healthcare Patient Messaging Text Data.
Deciding what to specify for any language? The guide to speech data collection covers the choices that apply across languages, and the one on transcription for AI and for people covers how speech becomes text.

Four ways to request English data
Each links to the service that runs it, with its full scope and process.
English speech data
Recorded speech in English: calls, prompts and voice bot utterances, built around the regional accent your model needs to recognize.
English text data
Written English: messages, reviews, tickets or chat logs, written or labeled by people who read it natively.
English conversational data
Scripted or spontaneous English dialogue for voice bots and support agents, with the regional accent your users expect.
English translation
Human-verified translation between English and another language, covering prompts, UI copy and training data.
What to put in a English brief
Four things worth deciding before contributors start, so the first sample already looks right.
Region or dialect
English is spoken mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Australia, Canada and many other countries. Worth naming in a brief: American, British, Indian, Australian, African and other regional English. Tell us the region or community you're targeting so contributors are matched to the right one.
Script or transliteration
Script for English: Latin letters, left to right. Say whether you want the native script, a transliterated version, or both, especially if your downstream system only reads one.
Data type mix
Speech, text, conversational and translation can be requested together or on their own. Tell us the mix your model needs.
Volume and timeline
A rough sense of how much data and how soon lets us staff the right number of contributors from the start.
From your brief to reviewed English data
One named contact owns the project from scoping to the last file.
Brief
You tell us the data type, the English variety or region and roughly how much you need.
NDA and scope
We sign an NDA before any data moves, then agree the scope with you.
Free sample
We produce a small sample free, so you can check it before you commit.
Production
Contributors from our network work in our own tools, to the brief you set.
Review
A review pass runs before anything is delivered.
Delivery
The data comes to you, or moves on to another service with us.
Where English data ends up
Common jobs for English data. They're examples of the work, not a client list.
Voice bots and IVR
Recorded English prompts and calls teach a voice bot to recognize how people actually speak, not just how a script reads.
Support chat and tickets
Everyday English messages, written in the domain you work in, give a chat assistant real phrasing to learn from.
Content moderation and sentiment
Labeled English posts, reviews and messages teach a model to read tone and intent correctly in this language.
Localizing a product
Translating prompts, UI copy and training data into English so a product reads like it was written for that market, not machine-translated.
Off-the-shelf English data, or built to your brief?
We hold around 35,000 hours of off-the-shelf speech, prompts and conversations already collected across our network, and roughly 500 hours of it is English: see the English speech dataset. Here's how the two paths compare.
| Topic | A typical off-the-shelf dataset | English data with us |
|---|---|---|
| Already collected? | No way to know until you've already paid for it | Yes: roughly 500 hours of English speech are already recorded, and we tell you what they cover before you buy |
| Fit to your brief | Built for whoever bought it first, not your exact region, register or use case | Collected or reviewed to the region, script and format you specify |
| Who else has it | The same files can be sold to more than one buyer | Custom collections are scoped to your engagement. For stock data, who else can license it is set in your licence |
| Checking the fit | You find out after you've already paid for it | A small free sample first, so you check it before committing to volume |
English data terms, in plain words
General definitions. They describe the field, not a claim about us.
Where English data fits
English is one of 100 languages on our languages directory. You can also browse every category on the datasets hub.
Questions about English data
The datasets FAQ covers questions that apply across every category.
Do you support English?
Yes. English is one of 100 languages in this directory, part of our wider language coverage worldwide, including deep Indian language coverage. Tell us the regional variety you need.
Do you already have any English data collected?
Yes. Roughly 500 hours of English speech, prompts and conversations are already recorded and ready to license. The English speech dataset page has the details, and anything it doesn't cover we collect to your brief.
Can you mix regional varieties of English in one project?
Yes. Tell us the mix of regions or dialects you need and we'll match contributors from our network to that brief.
Which data types are available in English?
Speech, text, conversational data and translation to or from English. Image and video categories don't depend on language, so English speakers can also appear in those briefs on request.
Is a sample available before we commit?
Yes, a small free sample first.
Can this run alongside other languages in the same project?
Yes. Many engagements mix languages, domains and data types under one brief and one named contact, using our network of 30,000+ people across 150+ projects delivered so far.
What counts as a regional variety of English?
A version of the language tied to a place or community, which can differ in vocabulary, pronunciation, formality or script from another region's variety. Name the region in your brief if it matters for your use case.
Can you handle English in its native script?
Yes. Contributors work in the native script by default, with transliteration available if your project needs it instead.
Which variety of English should I ask for?
Ask for the one your users actually speak. English is spoken mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Australia, Canada and many other countries, and the forms most worth naming in a brief are American, British, Indian, Australian, African and other regional English. If you are unsure, describe your users and where they live, and your named contact will help you decide before collection starts.
How is English written, and does it matter for the data?
English data uses Latin letters, left to right. The script and its encoding affect how a model reads the data, so say in the brief which one you need and whether a romanized or transliterated version is also required.
